Directions

In a nonstick skillet, simmer the chicken, salsa, onion, cumin and oregano until heated through and most of the liquid has evaporated.

Place 1/2 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla; top with 2 tablespoons cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.

Place seam side down in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the broth, bouillon and pepper. Cook until bouillon is dissolved. In a small bowl, combine flour and cream until smooth; gradually stir into broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chilies; cook until heated through. To serve, cut chimichangas in half; top with sauce.Yield: 6 servings.

"These are good but I didn't like the 'baked' tortilla. It may just have been the LaTortilla Factory low carb, tortillas that I used but it wasn't awful. The original recipe called for 1/4 cup flour and 1 cup half & half for the sauce which I modified by using 4 ounces skim milk and 4 ounces light sour cream. What I did worked but it needed more flour (I only used 2 tablespoons) as it was pretty thin, also needed some more spice. I served it with salsa and that 'rescued' the flavor"

"This dish was amazing! And on top of that it's a cinch to make. A love the sauce, so simple yet lots of flavour. I didn't have half and half, but I used whipping cream, which may have made it extra creamy, which for me, is perfect!"
